Hi girls,
really hope i dont sound like I'm going on but so much is happening and i just dont know what to do, im so stressed....
on Thursday last week I had my antenatal and all was well so i was so happy and relaxed then Friday morning i set off for work and suddenly couldnt breath and had really bad chest pain....i ended up in hospital on oxygen and was told i had a blood clot and needed clexane injections twice a day so i was kept in from friday - tuesday and was on 2 clexane injections daily and then they insisted on giving me an x-ray and told me that there was minimum risk to baby but that i had to sign a disclaimer just in case (obviously this made me panic!).....then i was also given a radioactive liquid injection for a further scan on my chest.....(again there was a risk to baby) so eventually i was discharged and finally started to think that maybe baby would be fine and i could now relax THEN....this morning ive just got a letter saying i have a strep b infection and that my baby could be at serious risk and i need to be on anti-biotics again and make sure i understand all the risk surrounding labour!!!! My heads gonna explode and to top if off ive been advised to have my swine flu jab at 1:30 today!!! (SO SORRY ITS SUCH A LONG RAMBLE.....) XX

Aww hun, I'm so sorry for everything you have been/are going through, it must be very stressful!

You must be getting your 20wk scan now? So hopefully that will make you feel a bit better and reassured?

I have heard of other women who are strep b positive but the way to look at it, at least they have found it and can treat you so that will minimise the risk to baba.

I don't have much more advice just ((((big hugs)))))

Awww hun!

Really don't worry about the strep b thing, loads of women have it, its a bacteria that all of us have at one point or another and we can get rid of it ourselves. they may screen you at a later date to see if you still have it but chances are you won't have it when you go into labour and if you do they will have you on antibiotics during your labour. It can be passed onto baby but they don't even screen for it now so women could have it and still give birth totally fine!

Not long until your 20 week scan, am sure all will be totally fine

I hope work are being nice! (((((((hugs))))))))

my cousins wife found out she had it a few weeks ago , the hospital are just going to check her in few months and told her once she gets contractions to go into hospital to have antibiotics through labour just to be on the safe side , there is only a very small % of babies that dont survive but with all the medical stuff now a days im sure that your baby wil be fine , bes of luck x
